Chapter 255 Im Really Looking Forward to It (2/2)
After the explanation was over, Caraway-san decided to leave the mansion to head to the next location.
Though it may not be all of us, Lilia-san and I saw Caraway-san off at the door, but right at that moment when we were about to say goodbye…… Caraway-san turned to me and gave me a serious look.
[……Miyama-sama, I want to talk to you about something personal, but do you mind?]
[Eh? Ah, yes.]
[I’m sorry!]
[……Ehh? Yes?]
I was wondering what she personally wanted to talk about, not as an envoy for the Six Kings but…… For some reason, Caraway-san deeply bowed her head to me and apologized.
Eh? What is this? What’s going on? Why am I being apologized to by someone I just met today?
[……When Miyama-sama came to this world, “I was the one who casted Recognition Inhibition Magic on you”.]

[……Eh?]
[I was blinded by greed and was very rude to you. It isn’t something I can apologize and be forgiven for…… but I just wanted to say these few words. Please, you may laugh at me for being self-satisfied for this.]
[…………………]
Looking at Caraway-san, who desperately had her head low and was telling me that it was for her own satisfaction, after a brief moment of silence, I wryly smiled.
[……Please raise your head. I don’t care about that matter at all.]
[……H- However……]
[Look, it’s not like anything happened to me anyway……]
If we’re talking about if the Recognition Inhibition Magic did any real harm to me at that time, then the worst that happened was that I got lost…… That’s the reason why I met Kuro though, so I’m rather grateful to her instead.
Telling her that I don’t care about that matter while thinking about that, with her head still bowed down, Caraway-san stiffened. Perhaps, she didn’t expect my reaction and didn’t know what to do.
[……Then, how about we do it like this? I’ve certainly received Caraway-san’s apology, and I’ve forgiven you for that. So, Caraway-san, please don’t worry about it either.]

[……Miyama-sama.]
[Thank you so much for your courteous explanation today. If we ever meet again, I would be happy if you treat me as an acquaintance you can be carefree with.]
[……Yes.]
Hearing my suggestion to let bygones be bygones already, Caraway-san slowly looks up.
Then, she turns to me and gives me a soft smile that makes her cat-ears pretty.
[Thank you. Miyama-sama…… I’m sure we’ll see each other again at the Six Kings Festival, but in that case, please let me know if I could be of assistance.]
[Errr.]
[I want to thank you for your generosity. I would be happy to help in any way I can.]
[……Yes. Well then, if there’s an opportunity like that, I will be in your care.]
When I nodded, Caraway-san got down on one knee and after giving me a knight-like bow, she stood up.

[……Well then, everyone, I’ll see you all at the Six Kings Festival.]
[Yes. Good luck with your work, Caraway-san.]
[Thank you…… Excuse me then.]
With that, Caraway-san light bowed her head again and left with a smile on her face.
After she was out of sight, Lilia-san and I were about to return to the mansion, when I suddenly heard a small mutter.
[……You’re as kind as usual…… aren’t you?]
[……Eh?]
[……Errr, it’s that. As your lover, it’s making me feel proud…… is what I mean.]
While saying such praise that doesn’t sound like being sarcastic at all, Lilia-san returned to the mansion a step ahead of me.
Dear Mom, Dad——– I just finished listening to the explanation of the Six Kings Festival, and it really was quite an outrageous event. I’m confused by the fact that Im’m treated like a state guest, but this festival that Kuro and the others are making——– I’m really looking forward to it.
